    AbstractThe city of Wuhan, capital of Hubei, was the starting point of the Covid-19 epidemic and its doctors were led to develop novel strategies that have benefited the global fight in the country. But whatever strategies we hold up, the basic golden rule for controlling the pandemic has been early detection, reporting, isolation and treatment. The modalities of the battle were: swift action to block transmission with a vigorous, multifaceted response; resource allocation (a nationwide command system); Fangcang shelter hospitals; Broad community engagement: -provision of support via a volunteer network; People embraced behavioral change: -wearing masks and social distancing; Widespread testing: technical innovation; Science and technology curb the pandemic with research and digital technology; Free diagnosis and treatment for COVID-19. The success of our experience has provided valuable information to the international community in the fight against the pandemic.© 2021 Published by Elsevier Masson SAS on behalf of l'Académie nationale de médecine.
